9 hidden features you're not using on Instagram

1. Hide unwanted tagged photos ‍

a. Show where this is at first. In the app go to Settings -- Privacy -- Tags and toggle. ‍

a. Use https://later.com/free-link-in-bio/ personally one of the best I’ve used. ‍

3. Share a story to your main feed

a. Talk about how it’s popular to do it the other way. Go to your story. Click the 3 little dots and hit ‘Share as Post…’. 

4. Turn on Instagram post notifications

a. If you see a post from someone you like you can click the 3 dots and hit ‘Turn On Post Notifications’ this will allow you to get notified every time that person posts. 

5. Set up quick replies
